Recover Facebook account using default account recovery option
The default account recovery option is one of the ways to
recover your account in case you are not logged in to other devices or browser.
This option allows you to recover your account by entering your default email
or phone number.
However, before starting this process, make sure you are using
a network or computer where you have previously logged into your Facebook
account.
Tip: Do not attempt to recover your account in a public place
or with an unsecured Wi-Fi connection.
1. Go to the home page of the main Facebook website and click
the Forgot my account button.
2. You will be directed to this page Find your account. Enter
your email or phone number to search your Facebook account. Meanwhile, you can
also use your Facebook username for recovery.
3. Verify if the matching account is yours and if you have
access to your email or login phone number. Facebook will send you a six-digit
account recovery code once you have entered the appropriate email address.
You
should receive an email with this aspect:
You can now enter the six-digit security code in the dialog
box. You can request another code in case you have not received any and will be
redirected to the previous page.
4. You will be asked to change your password after entering
the security code correctly.
5. You are now offered the option to log out of all your devices
once a new password is registered. For your protection, you should always log
out of your other devices every time you change your password.
6. Facebook will review your account if recent changes were
made to your basic information, applications and activity to ensure there is no
unauthorized login. After the review, you will now access your account and be
directed to your news source.
When you think your Facebook account was hacked, an important
step to keep your account secure is to change your password and update your
contact information.
Review the email addresses and phone numbers linked to your
account and delete those that you no longer have access to. Once again,
two-factor authentication can be performed to avoid being blocked from your account.
